Other juries all over the country seem to have no trouble deciding verdicts and sentences without dragging the Bible into the jury room.
Would you be upset if somebody brought a Koran into the jury room and used it in deliberations? I would.

Don't fret your society is getting ever closer, legally speaking, to banning the Bible.
I wouldn't. In fact, I'd seize the opportunity to educate this juror on the woeful shortcomings of his religion, particularly with regard to the fact that the jury process is completely alien to Islam.
You know what? The Koran is not the Bible. It just isn't. But if a juror brought in Confucius, I wouldn't care much at all.
Deciding guilt or innocence doe snot require a bible.
Again, if they are deciding on sentencing, what is the guideline? Punishment can legally range from some measure of time in prison to death.
It's up to the jury to decide. It is THEIR OPINION. Again, what do they use, a coin? Sure, if a guy is a Moslem, he may consult the Koran. He may even relay what the Koran says to the rest of the jurors.
The jurors have the freedom to sentence him to death or life in prison. WHAT DO THEY USE TO DEVELOP THEIR OPINIONS? NOTHING?
